Muggsy Malone ft. Kelsie Grammar - Rise to Power

Muggsy Malone's last feature, October's One Time 4 Your Mind, found the D.C. representative lost in thought, contemplating the trials and tribulations of life 'round his way in characteristically wordplay-packed verses. The Parkway Kid's first promo single of the new year, by contrast, is all about action. Mario Winans's stately street boardwork bangs in the back as Malone lays the foundation for his imminent Rise to Power. Booth newcomer Kelsie Grammar assists on the guest tip; her bars hit harder than you'd expect from an artist who takes her name from the man behind Frasier Crane. This cut isn't attached to a larger set, but the passion and drive Muggsy showcases here suggest that more new music is just around the corner.
